Records That Could Never Make A Comeback
Yeah probably never hear that get played again, I like it but only because it reminds me of the 'early days' and our youth club where it was played off an emidisc...Catacombs monster

Records That Could Never Make A Comeback
I've never known it to be popular or ever heard it played. The first I ever heard of it was way back in about 1976 when John Manship had it on one of his UK lists and referred to it as a Torch spin. A lot of records get started that way...

Records That Could Never Make A Comeback
Glad I missed out when that Lucky Charms was being played...have to say I have a soft spot for The Jewels myself, reminds me of some of best ever nights at Wigan at a time when I could keep up with it easily, although as a record it's a bit of a row. Keith made a few good pop records and there's a good beat ballad on the B side of one of his UK mercury singles. Finally Main Change, never heard this out but it's irritatingly catchy, shame about the bit in the middle.

Good call!

Records That Could Never Make A Comeback
Ooh-er - I like both of those. Samantha Jones is out and out pop but what a fantastic, catchy song, can't believe it didn't chart.

I never even heard of that...was meant to be records that were once massive - sorry if I missed out on that one

Singing Swinging Counts Continued
Sorry I know this has been done before but I couldn't find it - this guy on ebay selling this record here https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4713646066&rd=1 well he has it on a gold label yet I sold one about 18 months ago on a blue label with silver lettering. I bought it off my mate for £20 blind and sold it for, I dunno, £100 I think. I'd never heard of it. Definitely blue and credited to the Singing Swinging Counts. Is this gold one real?

Records That Could Never Make A Comeback
Records that were once massive but no one would dare play out today because they are so terrible. I'll start: THE CHERRY PEOPLE - AND SUDDENLY

Another Unreleased Acetate
I just bought a little batch of them blind. The most interesting was probably Can't stop running away by Timi Yuro - same take as the record that was released but a good 20 seconds longer, continuing til the band stopped playing. There's one by Jimmy Williams but it's just a songwriter demo and has hardly any accompaniment. I'll see what else I can find though.

Val Simpson Unreleased Acetate
Don't know the history, just came with a few I bought, has the lyrics with it as well...like I said, I'm not really interested if it's not Northern but thought others might like to hear it - thanks for the feedback chaps
-
Val Simpson Unreleased Acetate
What's anyone think...grows on you I think...quite nice
-
Another Unreleased Acetate
Again this isn't a northern soul track, just a good 60's female vocal once it gets going. Written by Johnny Northern/Ralph Bailey/Rudy Clark and called Am I Ever Gonna See My Baby Again. It's on a one sided 10" acetate on the TM MUsic Inc label (1619 Broadway)...
-
Val Simpson Unreleased Acetate
Possibly unreleased, I don't know, it's a 10" one sided acetate on the Flomar Music Ltd label, "All sold out" - it's not Northern, it's just a nice 60' s soul track with a very good female vocal. Writers Ashford/Simpson/Monic. Had this lying around doing nothing so thought you lot might like to hear it.

John Andrews & The Lonely Ones
I think I did 3 big articles for the magazine and worked on 3 of the price guides..
-
The Ritz Desborough
Yes, they do it's the inability to play them that makes them good
-
The Ritz Desborough
No they're not just oldies, they're modern oldies, or modern northern oldies, as opposed to northern oldies, which are older-oldies than modern northern oldies, right?
-
The Ritz Desborough
Yeah but it's true!
-
The Ritz Desborough
No they aren't, they're modern oldies

Prophets And The Originals
I think there's about 4 versions. The original one is easily the best (the one they called The Detroit Prophets but it is very slightly speeded up I think).
-
John Andrews & The Lonely Ones
I used to do the prices for the record collector guide for the first few issues. I packed it in after they took so long to pay up for the work done. Ever since, it's been crap
